It’s been an important part of my life for all of this time. I want to see people’s real faces, and hear their real voices.

I found that MediaMonkey , a free music organizer/player, sync tool that I had used with an older MP3 player, will sync my tunes with the Pre. I also installed the Music Player (Remix). Keep the screen turned on while charging -- very handy when listening to music in the car. I still wish they'd add voice memos.

Yet, nonprofits by their nature are an integral part of any community’s life. Nonprofits fight poverty, provide great venues for art and music, challenge homelessness, help organize civic life, promote the common good and a host of other functions that puts human community and the common good before profits and a narrow band of investors.

In order to get my music onto the Pre I had to drag and drop it into the proper folder (and the Help files didn't give a clue about which folder that should be -- I had to search online to find that it's the DCIM folder). I've read that there are 3rd party tools that will sync music with the Palm, but I haven't had time to experiment.
